Falkland
These braids are approx. 4 oz. each of Falkland wool. It is 26 micron with a staple length of 4-6 inches, 100-115 mm. Unless otherwise noted all braids are between 3.8oz. & 4.2oz.
​
The base flock of the Falkland wool is Corridale, Polwarth and Dohne Merino. These breeds were developed for dual purpose, meat and wool production and are selectively bred for the ability to survive in the harsh climate of the Falkland Islands. The upside of the harsh climate is that insects and disease associated with them are not a problem. The wool is almost guaranteed to be chemical free. Since there are no known sheep diseases in the Falkland Islands, the sheep are never dipped and never go through mulesing.
